Lo msebenzi wobuciko besayensi kanye nezincwadi eziqanjiwe wezibalo uyingqayizivele esimnandi futhi esijabulisayo kakhulu esiye sanothisa abafundi iminyaka engaphezu kwekhulu.
Ichaza uhambo lwesikwele, isazi sezibalo kanye nomhlali weFlatland enezinhlangothi ezimbili, lapho izintambo-ezithobile, eziqonde khona kwesifazane-eziphansi kakhulu kunabo bobunjwa, nalapho amadoda angaba khona noma yiliphi inani lezinhlangothi, ngokuya ngesimo sawo senhlalo.
Ngokuvela okungajwayelekile okumenza ahlangane nethimba lamafomu wejometri, isikwele sinezinto ezenzeka eSpaceland (ubukhulu abathathu), eLineland (ubukhulu obuthile) nasePoenland (azikho ubukhulu) futhi ekugcineni inemibono yokuhambela izwe elinobukhulu obungu-4 umbono abuyiselwa kuwona emhlabeni wakhe onamacala amabili. Ibonakaliswe kahle ngumlobi, iFlatland ayigcini ngokufundwa okuthakazelisa kakhulu, kuseyisingeniso senqanaba lokuqala kumqondo wobukhulu bendawo. "Iyafundisa, iyajabulisa futhi ivusa umcabango."
